Zanzibar's Coffee Adventure

Zanzibar's Coffee Adventure roasts its own coffee on-site in small batches, a practice it has followed since 1993. The cafe runs a full espresso bar with classics like cappuccino and chai latte, a limited breakfast menu, and sweet treats available all day. The shop also sells its beans online for shipping and for pickup at the door.

The cafe is locally owned and set up for lingering, with a changing display of art and room for friends or a good book. Store hours run Monday through Saturday and on Sunday morning, and the shop closes in the early afternoon. It is at 2723 Ingersoll Avenue in Des Moines.
